Bianca Andreescu

Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu has stayed home from the Tokyo Olympics due to the pandemic, but will be watching on TV as other athletes try to live out her gold-medal dreams.

In addition to watching tennis, Andreescu will be keeping a close eye on the swimming.

She's good friends with Penny Oleksiak, who will be defending the 100-metre freestyle gold medal she won at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio.

Canada's Bianca Andreescu won't be participating in the Olympic tennis tournament in Tokyo, but she'll be cheering on the Canadian team from home.

The 2019 US Open champion pulled out of the Olympics earlier this month due to pandemic concerns, but she's confident she'll have another chance to represent Canada at a summer Games.

The Olympic tennis tournament kicks off tomorrow in Tokyo.
